LEVErAGE Our Expertise to Benefit Your healthcare ITEven with a focus on reducing costs, healthcare organizations continue to overspend on IT products and services. Providers, payors, pharma, durable equipment manufacturers, etc. typically pay up to 33% more for IT than industries with the lowest average costs.1

NET(net) uses proprietary Federated Market Intelligence of historic, trending and current IT spend data built from managing more than 15,000 engagements with more than 1,500 global clients. This data-base enables us to identify, quantify and effectively remediate IT supplier agreements, investments, and relationships. We find that many of these agreements are improperly structured, not inclusive of the most favorable terms and conditions, and not priced and valued effectively.

We will help you Find, Get, and Keep maximum value in your technology deals. From Lawson financial applications, Microsoft licenses, Cisco networking equipment, telecom relationships, IBM servers, EMC storage arrays, to Epic, McKesson, and Cerner systems, and so on.

Stop paying the “healthcare premium.” Regardless of where you are in your Healthcare IT investment lifecycle, NET(net) will provide immediate value. Engage NET(net) and leverage our Advisory Services to Find Value, our IT Optimization and Negotiation Services to Get Value, and our Managed Services to Keep Value. We GuARANTEE the value you receive will result in a net/net, win/win situation.

NET(net) will generate sustainability in your healthcare technology investments.

NET(net) can help you analyze your options, optimize your

technology investments, negotiate the best

deals and manage your key technology

suppliers, resulting in dramatically improved strategic and economic value for your healthcare organization.

360° PERSPECTIVE

1 - NET(net) study of 504 client opportunities conducted from Jan. 2010 – Dec. 2012

To assist in the global deployment of our enterprise CRM system, we engaged NET(net) to optimize and renegotiate our enterprise license investments. NET(net)’s in depth assess-ment and analysis not only identified areas that allowed us to find more value in our existing agreement, but ensured that our tech-nology infrastructure is positioned for our BI systems and CRM future needs. We could not be happier with the services provid-ed by NET(net) as we have achieved a fully optimized configuration and negotiated outcome that enables us to keep the value invested in our CRM deployment.”

fINd VALUE — healthcare IT relationships

Most clients focus on their areas of recognized need, but when we are engaged collaboratively in the supplier evaluation process, we can help clients find significant latent value.

AnalysisFind Value by analyzing your current supplier spend and by identifying key opportunities to improve economic and/or strategic value.

VettingFind Value by vetting potential opportunities for value improvements by socially vetting suppliers in your technology supply chain with a strong peer network.

SelectionFind Value by utilizing a proven and disciplined supplier evaluation and selection process that reduces subjectivity and risk, and improves performance and value.

Most clients unknowingly suffer from sub-optimization in their technology supply chain, and lack the insights required to harvest that value in a way that targets and remediates economic value, but doesn’t damage strategic value. NET(net) has the proven ability to help you Find Value in your IT Supply Chain.

IT Optimization We’ll leverage our proprietary tools to analyze your organizational requirements, and evaluate all the available supplier options, and will bring to life alternative deal permutations that meet your needs, but offer better economic and/or strategic value from the supplier solution.

NegotiationWe’ll leverage our patented negotiation methodologies, and provide decision support and/or “at the bargaining table” supplier negotiations assistance to ensure you get the protections and flexibility you need to capture maximum value in your commercial arrangement.

After a large merger, DJO faced a big challenge in negotiating technology agreements that would enable the newly combined company to bring disparate processes together and to leverage its increased size and scale. We initiated discussions with our software suppliers on our own, but during the course of negotiations, it became clear that we would benefit from professional assistance. Our private equity owner, Blackstone, introduced us to NET(net). The results of the negotiation were millions of dollars worth of savings and benefits. Going forward, we would not consider large scale technology related in-vestments without seeking professional representation.”
